first thing you should do is to check that you have the correct Hurst shifter and installation kit for a 1967 68 Camaro

there should be numbers on the Hurst parts or post a pic to ID the parts

My guess is you've got the wrong install kit that's positioning the shifter wrong. How far off it is and in what direction?

 

Here is a correct 1967-68 Camaro Hurst install kit and shifter.

 

Yea they are right you have to buy the exact shifter for your car as well as the exact adapter kit.

 

A search of older posts on this subject will turn up the correct p/n's.
Then it's a bolt in operation.

 

Are the holes different for an auto to a 4 speed?

No they are the same.

When I did mine I used Hurst 391 4339 (that's the number on the box).

Also the Hurst reverse light switch works great and easy to install.

 

Wow thanks for the pictures! My shifter is not in the same location as yours - which would explain why it would not line up.
My Hurst Competition Plus # 3216274 3306126, is that the same number as yours? Thanks

 

Shifter # 3216274 3306126, the guy who sold it to me said it came out of a 67 fire bird. I'm starting to think that its an incorrect shifter.

 

Here is what I'm dealing with, would it be right to say that I only need Hurst Installation Kit #373529


Thank you all for being so quick to respond with sound advice!

 

I think the newer ones may be steel. Mine is cast aluminum. Way used in 1975

 

Those numbers your looking at are patent numbers.

The numbers Luwi67 posted are the part numbers of the shifter and install kit I used. This shifter fits the factory hole in my '67 perfectly .

The 3734529 install kit has a U-bolt clamp the goes around the back of the tail housing of the transmission.

Here are the installation instructions:

Great information. I will be doing this swap on my cousin's 67.

 

that install kit looks like its for a Chevelle that used the # 7773 mount plate

and the rods are on backward as the adjustment end should be on the shifter

your pics don't show the neck of the shifter which needs to have the large offset as shown in the other pics

the number you need is the one under the reverse light bracket

 

Thanks to all for the much needed help, just ordered the installation kit and hopefully that will take care of my pickle. I will update once kit is installed.

 

Ok, received the installation kit and installed the adapter plate and all the rods only to find out that my shifter linkages had been altered. Spent the majority of the day taking the shifter apart, cleaning and lubing before rebuilding it correctly. The person who sold me the tranny must have swap 1-2 and 3-4 links on the shifter. (Not sure why?) Shifter is now properly aligned with console hole.

I now have a new problem, the clutch fork is right up against the firewall!
What has my midlife crisis gotten himself into now. Please let me know what can I do to correct this problem.

 

photos?

 

Ok here is the fork hitting the firewall.

 

Why do the pictures I post keep disappearing?

 

Thanks for all the help, after replacing the installation kit, and the clutch fork (OE GM) the install was corrected and completed. See you next summer when another project for this car begins. Thanks again!
